Mornings With Moula

Morning is a time for waking. It is a time to have our first meal of the day and then to rest or play quietly. Darlyn learned about the early morning routine quite quickly and  we are all thankful for that because a small puppy sometimes can't be quiet. Of course, Darlyn still has a playful side,even in the quiet of the morning.  Raven likes to indulge Darlyn with a little quiet play time with the kong bone. It is a good thing to be quiet in the morning and think abut the coming day. I love my new lamby too, He is a good little pillow to rest upon. May your days be filled with peace my friend.

Mother, Father and all my Aunties and Uncles- but I think I will keep it to the canine people in my life today.   I was born in the snows of New Hampshire on this day - fourteen years ago. I remember my family well. I still love the snow! And the water. And riding on the boat in our lake. I miss my Moula and all the road trips we took. Even though I am old, I still love sucking on my toys..... And napping. I can still goof around too. As   each new puppy came into my life, I taught them what Moula and Mother and Father taught me. Little Ari loved me from the very beginning because I reminded her of her own Mother Brynne. She was always asking me questions. I always loved napping on the big bed. And watching out the wi
